Pics

Still waiting for the new oil lines to be delivered today. Thought I would post some of the full truck pics for those that have not seen them.

The day we brought it home (12/20/09):


Proud papa:


A little bit of history:
The original owner bought the truck in 1954. He was a machinist and welder. After one of the bed boards broke, he welded a steel plate into the bed. He also made the tool box mounted in the bed.
In 1976 he gave the truck to his son who took it around the Northwest as a daily driver and to pull a horse trailer. At some point he replaced the engine with a 235 from a 1959 truck. The son eventually ended up in Colorado and stopped using it regularly. The truck has been garaged for the last decade.
We bought the truck around Christmas as a project for our family and as a light work truck to haul landscape materials, lumber and anything else we can't fit in our yuppie mobiles.
We are waiting until we get the truck running for his/her personality and gender to emerge before we decide on a name.
